Video: Cat rescues boy, chases dog off

A neighborhood surveillance camera in Bakersfield, Calif. Tuesday captured video of a cat coming to the rescue of its 4-year-old owner. According to WKERO Bakersfield, 4-year-old Jeremy was playing on his tricycle in the family's driveway when a neighbor's 8-month-old labrador/chow mix attacked him. Video shows the dog sneaking up from behind and grabbing Jeremy by the leg and beginning to drag him off.

But it's what happened next that has turned the video viral. Jeremy's family cat, Tara, is seen rushing the dog and pouncing on it, then chasing it off.
